louisiana crawfish

One of the best things about living in Louisiana is the food. There is a lot of delicious cuisine... especially the crawfish. We had a crawfish boil recently and it was such a fun time! They were so spicy and delicious. The only bad thing is that they are so messy. It makes it hard to get a few pictures and eat at the same time!

These were all taken with my 24-105 f/4.0L. I love that lens when I want a wide angle. I would prefer a wider aperture, but sometimes when I'm taking shots like these I have a tendency to stop down too far and end up with more of the shot out of focus than I want. So having to stay at 4.0 is a good thing... sometimes.

These look yummy done with the corn and potatoes. I like the little guy who is holding one of these "mud bugs" so gingerly by the tentacle. Going to have to be a bit more aggressive to get much meat out of that. Looks like a fun family get together!

Awww...crawfish! One of the funniest things about Louisiana. We have crawfish boils here in Texas too, but I don't think they're quite as popular here as they are there. I think I'd like them more if they weren't so dang messy! Ha! Looks like y'all had a great time! And fabulous photos as always!

That's a lot of crawfish. For sure a Southern thing, not to mention the kosher issue prevents me from partaking, but I can look at the gorgeous pictures and wish I could have some corn on the cob (once my braces come off!)!
